Sports reviews of GoFit 6-Inch by 18-Inch Foam Roller with Core Performance DVD
Customer Review: Cheaper than a massuese
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
After reading several articles on bodybuilding forums as to the many benefits of foam rolling for recovery and tissue health, I finally found one of these rollers at a Target store nearby.
I had been suffering from severe delayed onset muscle soreness in my legs and lower back after a heavy weightlifting session. After watching the short DVD, I started rolling out small sections...as much as I could stand. The pain is very intense on tight muscles; but the payoff is immediate. As soon as you finish rolling a section, you can feel the reduced stress and tension in the muscle. My legs normally hurt for a full 4 days after a leg workout, and with the use of this product, I was done hurting in 2 days.

I am a personal trainer that has been using this exact foam roll with my clients for nearly one year. Foam rolling, or Self-myofacial release (SMR), is a method that has been researched and used for many years to elminate adhesions (knots) in muscle tissue. It is a staple in all of my client's workouts, especially my own. I train at least 25 sessions per week and have only had to replace the roller twice do to warping and softening of the foam (this happens to all of them eventually). Be sure to pick this one up since it comes with a great DVD and is a bright color so you don't misplace it in the gym.Customer Review: Workout necessity

I love this roller! I got this size so that I could bring it with me to the different gyms and studios I go to. I use it after cardio, which is usually followed by weight training, and then again after weights. It gives the deep tissue style massage which alleviates that super painful lactic acid buildup. I have not had the problem of it flattening out beyond use. Since it is made of pliable, porous foam I expect it to compress a little over time bit mine is still good as new! I highly recommend this product for anyone who wants a more complete workout.Customer Review: Better than I expected

Three years of knee trouble, over $1000 in physical therapy sessions and at last I am taking matters into my own hand. The first thing on my list to buy was the foam roller that I used to decent effect in physical therapy. This one fits the bill perfectly. Firm enough to provide a solid platform for my leg rolls, after a few minutes of rolling the pain from my iliotibial muscle starts to dissipate. For anybody with IBS (Iliotibial Band Syndrome) this is an absolute must. For those with minor back pain, again, this will be a big help. Recommended.Customer Review: Worth the money

I agree with previous reviewers, I was skeptical about the price for the foam roll and a dvd, but it has been great and the DVD is a short helpful tutorial in showing you different ways to use the foam roll to stretch or massage different areas. The foam roll is really sturdy and lightweight, and the DVD I have found extremely helpful in showing me exactly what to do, and yet the DVD's tutorial portion only lasts about 10 minutes so it's not like you have to put up with some lengthy production. I use it for my whole back and traps.
